Using this door handle is simple. Just attach it to your compatible Bosch front loader washing machine as you would with the original handle. When using your washing machine, always wait for the door lock to release before opening the door. Forcing the door can cause the handle to break. To maintain the handle, clean it regularly with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. This will keep the chrome finish looking shiny and new. If you have any questions about the installation or use of this handle, don't hesitate to contact us.
